Abstract

A novel compact and self-packaging inline pseudoelliptic filter is proposed. The proposed filter exploits controllable mixed electric and magnetic coupling using substrate integrated suspended line (SISL) technology. Based on a synchronously tuned coupled resonator circuit with parallel LC resonant tank and admittance inverters, general formulas for extracting electric and magnetic coupling coefficients are derived. Meanwhile, a basic mixed coupled SISL resonator pair is investigated and a systematic design procedure of a second-order mixed coupled SISL filter is also given. Two prototypes of the second-order filter with one transmission zero (TZ) at either upper or lower stopband are designed, which is corresponding to either magnetic or electric coupling dominant case. Furthermore, for asynchronously tuned coupled resonator cases, an inline third-order pseudoelliptic SISL filter characterized by symmetric TZs is designed, fabricated, and measured for validation. The simulated and measured results show a good agreement with the synthesized ones.
